Eastern Comma, Hop Merchant, Comma Anglewing, Polygonia comma (Harris) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae)
Donald W. Hall and Jerry F. Butler
The eastern comma is a relatively small, inconspicuous butterfly that is rather closely associated with moist woods where its preferred nettle hosts grow, but it sometimes strays into other areas. With its wings folded, it resembles a dead leaf and is highly cryptic.
